Be warned though, make sure you have the latest firmware as the hard disk I had shared on mine was visible over the Internet, despite deliberately disabling the option. Once the firmware was updated the problem went away. Mine has been in service a couple of years now and needs resetting every so often, maybe once every couple of weeks at most. JulianI have Googled about the Draytek routers. Very expensive. On the other hand, if it lasts say five years....?? More research needed. Thanks for all the help so far. Neil
You could possibly be better off getting a replacement router and separate print server, it may work out slightly cheaper and it allows for any changes in technology as you never know what might happen in the future, for all we know BT might have a funny turn and supply Fibre To The Cabinet (VDSL) or Fibre To The Premises (fibre) rendering an ADSL2+ router defunct.
Ahh who am I kidding, we'll probably be stuck with ADSL2+ for the next 10 to 15 years at least ;-)
